TokBox is a web-based video chat tool that is free for users. The service works out by the user signing up and it generates a link that you can forward to any of your friend and enjoy a live video conversation.

Here's how it works: you sign up and are then given a link. When you want to talk with anyone, just give them the link - they click and you chat.

Once this plug-in is installed, the user is given a link beneath your friend's name. you are at fill liberty to decide which one of them has the rights to have a video conversation with you.

That's not it, you have the option of having multiple video conversations at one instant; the windows open up separately.

AND

TokBox is embeddable on all websites and social networks.

Recently, TokBox drummed up some rad PR. CNBC-TV aired a segment called "One Cool Thing" which shows off...you guessed it, TokBox and all the ins and outs of the project. They interviewed Jawed and the founder and CTO, Ron Hose.

Keep climbing! Oh and look into hiring more girls! The testosterone in that place must be overwhelming. =o)

One of the best side effects of using Facebook is knowing when your contacts' birthdays are - but you only see them if you log in. The Facebook application fbCal is out to fix that. Once you install it on Facebook, fbCal creates an iCal file for your Facebook contacts' birthdays as well as Facebook events.

And in another fun geeky news:

As Web and desktop applications merge, Yahoo doesn't want to be left out of the Webtop party. That's especially true as Adobe Air and Google Gears apps begin to gain some traction. It turns out that for the past year Yahoo has been working on BrowserPlus, a browser plugin that lets developers add desktop-like features to the browser, including the ability to drag-and-drop items from the desktop onto the browser, manipulate Web images (crop, rotate, etc.), and receive desktop notifications. It works with Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer, on both Windows and Mac OS X.

Facebook has the coolest additions. I love the music challenge and am currently a "music expert" though I have only gotten 70.2% of the challenges right. =o/ It is done through iLike and is still in beta form.

Cartoons of blogger Hugh Macleod…the "Gapingvoid" can now be added to your Facebook profile. Yep, I get that daily with the RSS feed, funny stuff.

And NewsGator Technologies has created a Facebook app, which means you can share your favorites feeds via their little widget. Though Feedburner already did this and I think a lot of people have burned their feeds with that site, so it will probably be more identifiable.

Of course you can add your Twitter bug to Facebook. I love Twitter! They were one of the earlier apps to be added, actually invited by Facebook.

Heck even Dogster has an app for Facebook. It's out of control, but it's so great because it allows you to add personality and customization to your profile which used to be Facebook's only downfall.
